Blank greetings card with envelope featuring:

Cecil Collins NPG x32738

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by Anne-Katrin Purkiss

Painter. Cecil Collins was a mystic in the tradition of William Blake and Samuel Palmer. His vision of a lost Paradise was peopled with his own characteristic archetypes, the Poet, the Fool and the Angel. The two former, highly stylised though they are, have been taken to be in some sense self-portraits, while the Angel was always inspired by his wife, the painter Elisabeth Collins.

Card size: 125mm x 175mm

Images are printed in their original proportions, within a white border.
